Hardcore crisis

While Lu Yuan was busy with his plans, in Donghai City, China, far to the west of the Pacific Ocean, a breeze blew up on a summer morning, causing people walking on the street to take a deep breath.

Jiang Zihan walked quickly under the sycamore tree on Jishan Road. Inside the ears of her long flowing hair, the song "Next Second" was playing on her white headphones. The relaxed rhythm matched her happy mood, and even her steps seemed brisk. stand up.

She had a very good breakfast, then came to her work place, greeted each colleague happily, and sat down at her desk.

another beautiful day.

Jiang Zihan thought happily.

A few days ago, she finally completed the work assigned by her superiors and received a commendation from the top management. If there are no accidents, she will be promoted next month. Even the head of the department secretly revealed something about it. , I guess it can’t be wrong.

After all, she had only been working here for a year and a half, and she had been promoted twice in a row. Although she was very happy, it also made some people unhappy. She endured it silently, and worked harder every day. If there were no unexpected promotions, she would be transferred to the branch's business department as director. Her hard work finally paid off, and she couldn't help but feel happy.

It's just that at the same time as the success of the career, the opposite happened emotionally...

When he thought of this, Jiang Zihan's happy mood immediately turned to disappointment.

"Zihan, you came very early."

Jiang Zihan's extremely annoying voice suddenly sounded behind him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Liu Yi who had been advertising in the department that he liked him. This annoying guy who thought he was good-looking had made it clear that he didn't like him, but he just liked him. How could Jiang Zihan like him by pestering himself.

There were several times when Liu Yi got entangled so deeply that Jiang Zihan almost couldn't help but want to punch him.

"Whether I came early or not is none of your business."

Jiang Zihan was angry.

"Hey, Zihan, don't be angry. Women must stay in a happy mood so that they can live younger and younger."

"Okay, if you want me to be in a good mood, just never show up in front of me."

"Yeah, well, you should be free tonight, right? I'd like to treat you to dinner, Zihan, when you get off work..."

Liu Yi didn't seem to hear the rejection in Jiang Zihan's words at all, and he smiled playfully and wanted to treat her to dinner that night.

How could Jiang Zihan dare to agree? Liu Yi's entanglement had already caused rumors in the company. If she really agreed, everyone in the department would probably know that Jiang Zihan had become Liu Yi's woman the next day, even if they had nothing. Do.

"I'm not free, Liu Yi, you'd better stay away from me, I have to work, please leave here."

Jiang Zihan refused righteously.

"Okay, I won't disturb your work. I'll pick you up after get off work."

"you……"

Jiang Zihan was really about to lose to Liu Yi's deep skin. Just when he was about to stand up and scold him angrily, there was a "crunch" and the water glass placed on the table suddenly fell down and hit the ground hard and turned into pieces.

"Hey, this is..."

Startled by the dropped water glass, Jiang Zihan immediately turned pale.

Not only her, but also Liu Yi next to her suddenly changed color.

"rumble……"

The smashing of the water glass seemed to be a signal, and the whole office shook. The desk, chairs, folders, computers, walls, and the ground were all shaking. Jiang Zihan was so frightened that he immediately hid under the desk and stood there. Liu Yi, who was on the side, staggered, squatted down and grabbed the desk, his face pale.

earthquake?

The two quickly realized what was going on.

But... why was there an earthquake suddenly?

Fortunately, the earthquake came suddenly and went away quickly. It only took about twenty seconds. The shaking suddenly stopped, as if nothing had happened.

But looking at the documents, water, and broken cups scattered all over the ground, everything told Jiang Zihan that it was not an illusion, but a real earthquake.

At this time, Jiang Zihan was not in much mood to talk to Liu Yi. He immediately got out from under the table, opened the office door and walked out. Only then did he find that there was a boil outside, and everyone in the company was alarmed. Everyone stood there with expressions on their faces. Extremely ugly. The department manager Jiang Zihan was familiar with even had her hands trembling. This woman, who was over forty years old, usually looked like a strong woman and always had a serious expression on her face. This was the first time she had seen this look. .

"Everyone, please be quiet, it's just an earthquake."

Donghai City has rarely experienced earthquakes, but that is not to say that it has never happened. The major earthquake that shocked the country in 2008 also affected Donghai City, thousands of kilometers away. Many people experienced the feeling of an earthquake for the first time at that time and were panicked. Discomfort is inevitable.

However, after all, earthquakes rarely occur in the East China Sea, and it is basically impossible for earthquakes to occur here.

Therefore, many people quickly calmed down. Jiang Zihan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and many people also walked over and looked down.

Looking out from such a high floor, you can see that the street below is filled with people coming out of the building. Vehicles are also parked on the roadside, instantly blocking the traffic. The dense crowd is like a gathering of people. Like ants, Jiang Zihan could imagine the noise below.

Facts also proved that the earthquake did not happen here. Jiang Zihan took out his mobile phone and found that the network was not affected. However, the earthquake had just occurred and there was no news about the earthquake on the Internet.

Colleagues were also talking about where the earthquake occurred. However, within a few minutes, they received an order from above to move down first, instead of taking the elevator, and take the emergency exit.

Walking through the emergency passages on dozens of floors, normally everyone would be complaining, but as soon as the earthquake happened, not many people dared to complain and hurriedly walked towards the emergency passages in order.

Ever since the 2008 earthquake, news about earthquakes has always come very quickly. After more than five minutes, there was already news on the Internet.

An earthquake measuring 8.5 on the Richter scale occurred 300 kilometers southeast of Kagoshima, Japan, with a focal depth of 10 kilometers under the sea.

The earthquake was clearly felt in Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu, Shandong and other places.

Many people could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard that the earthquake did not originate from China. As long as it was not an earthquake in China, earthquakes in other places were really irrelevant.

"Well, this earthquake is so close to Kagoshima, Japan. Is that place okay?"

Someone hesitated.

"It must be tragic... Didn't the earthquake a few years ago set off a tsunami more than 20 meters high? When this tsunami comes, the people on the shore will definitely be miserable."

"Probably not. The earthquake in 2011 had a magnitude of 9.0, and this time it was only a magnitude of 8.5. There would not be such a high tsunami. Besides, the Japanese are so experienced. They must have started mobilizing for evacuation now."

As they walked towards the lower level, there was a lot of discussion, and many people looked a little happy about their misfortune.

Jiang Zihan sighed, looking a little uneasy. The earthquake was not a good thing after all.

…

Far to the east of the Pacific Ocean, in Los Angeles, on the west coast of the United States, the sun was about to set. The afterglow of the sun fell on the earth, shining on Franklin's face through the gaps in the sunshade window, causing him to slowly open his eyes after sleeping all day.

"Well……"

Yawning, Franklin stretched out on the bed, revealing his extremely strong dark chest.

"Another great evening."

Franklin rubbed his eyes, stood up, put on a T-shirt, opened the door and walked out.

There was no sign of his aunt in the hall, and it seemed that she had not returned yet.

That spared his aunt's nagging, Franklin walked over, sat down, and turned on the TV.

"Half an hour ago, an 8.5-magnitude earthquake occurred 300 kilometers southeast of Kagoshima, Japan, with a focal depth of about 10 kilometers. According to the Japan Local Broadcasting Association, a large number of buildings collapsed. The specific number of casualties is still being counted. The government is Implement evacuation plans to avoid possible aftershocks and tsunamis in coastal areas..."

"Ding dong..."

The ringing of the doorbell made Franklin lose his attention. He came to his senses, stood up, walked out of the hall and opened the door.

"Hey, my brother, you look so tired. How many times did you have a hard time last night?"

Outside the gate, his brother Rama walked in unceremoniously and bumped Franklin's chest hard.
